EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the image of a 22-year-old mentally-deficient girl, who was suffering from a light goitre and thyroid deficiency, resulting in reduced development. The young woman, who is the daughter of the subject in the reference number 10192037, is diagnosed as a cretin. Cretinism is a condition caused by iodine deficiency during fetal development or infancy, leading to mental and physical impairments. The girl's expression is one of gentle innocence, yet her condition is evident in her small stature, round face, and enlarged thyroid gland. The use of a simple, white smock and a ribbon in her hair adds a sense of vulnerability to the image. At the turn of the 20th century, mental health institutions and asylums were common places for individuals with disabilities, including those with mental and physical impairments. The girl in this photograph may have been institutionalized, receiving medical care and support for her condition. Despite the challenges she faced, the young woman's gentle demeanor and innocent expression remind us of the inherent dignity and worth of all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the historical treatment of individuals with mental and physical disabilities and the importance of promoting inclusivity and compassion in our society.
